REFERENCING AND STABILITY STUDIES OF THE FERMILAB 3.9 GHZ (3 RD HARMONIC) CRYOMODULE FOR DESY TTF/FLASH*

As a part of TESLA Technology Collaboration activities and Fermilab/DESY technology transfer agreement, Fermilab is involved in an effort to build and deliver a 3.9 GHz (3 rd harmonic) cryomodule for use at DESY TTF/FLASH facility in 2008. Transport and alignment stability studies were performed in order to assess risk associated with transatlantic travel of a fully assembled cryomodule. The paper discusses preliminary shock and vibration measurements and deformation analysis results during transport studies, as well as stabilization techniques.
